After trying unsuccessfully to find a shortcut to move messages from my inbox into other mailboxes in Mail, I decided to set up my own shortcut by going to System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts - App Shortcuts - Mail then setting up 'Move to' with Command-M. But this does not seem to work. What have I done wrong?
Mac OS X (10.7.2)
In the Menu Title field, type the menu command for which you want to create a shortcut, exactly as the command appears in the app, including the > character (type ->), ellipses (type three periods without spaces or press Option-;), or other punctuation.
For example, to set a shortcut for the default ligature command in TextEdit, you would type Format->Font->Ligatures->Use Default. To set a shortcut for the Export to PDF command, you would type File->Export to PDF… in the field.

Hi i_rina,
Thanks for the information. I am actually just trying to trigger the 'Move to' command with a short-cut, with the hope of getting the drop-down menu of all my mailboxes. I would then use the cursor to get to the mailbox I require. As such, I cannot specify the destination. Not sure if this makes what I am trying to achieve unworkable.
